Hi Thierry, Three excellent resources, and ones I've referred to in the past. I also agree with your simplified hooks advice from the last email, an email I wanted to respond to but hadn't gotten the chance. Also agree on the removing superfluous css rules. This is a week long conference. My first session is a four hour (!) session before the conference begins. My syllabus has grown to be perhaps a bit ambitious for such a short session, but a quick look at many government sites (here in the United States at least) shows a great need for a much fuller implementation of good css. I plan to pack in as much as I possibly can and to provide comprehensive printed and online resources for later reference. Ambitious, yes, but after half a look at the sites online today, I think the need has become critical. To be honest, though, the length of this syllabus probably stems more from my obsessive compulsive desire for comprehensive preparedness. I just don't want to be caught standing around for an hour and a half with nothing more to add about css. Being added to your list of friends and colleagues is an honor. I've also added you to my List of Notables on TheHolierGrail.com (right above Peter-Paul Koch), though I plan to revamp THG within the next few weeks, so the location and look might change soon. In any event, thank you for both your emails. Over and above any online resource or book, I think the greatest resource for someone working with css (and websites in general) is this list. Your advice, experience and willingness to offer your input prove that you are an important part of the usefulness of this list. Thank you (and everyone who offered resources) for freely offering access to your knowledge, experience and general good nature.
